Mandatory Health Screening Programs

Physical Examination: Due at the beginning of the school year for grades K, 4, 7 and 10. All students must have a current Physical Examination on file (within the last 365 days) before participating in any sport.

Lead screening: The Department of Public Health regulations require that all children entering kindergarten present documented evidence of lead screening.

Only a physician is legally authorized to prescribe medication, this includes over the counter medication. If at all possible medication should be given at home before or after school hours. A student who needs to take any medication during school hours must have a signed permission slip from parent/guardian and the physician. Medication (in a pharmacy labeled bottle) is kept locked in the clinic and taken under the supervision of the nurse. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may be given at the discretion of the school nurse, if the parent/guardian has signed the permission form.

CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TRANSPORT ANY MEDICATION, INCLUDING OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICINES. The only exception: students at NHS and the middle schools are allowed to carry their own epi-pen and/or inhaler (with written permission from their physician on file in the clinic.)
